Developed in partnership with Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa (SCML), the following dissertation reflects the project and development of the study on Lisbon’s “Unidades de Desenvolvimento e Intervenção de Proximidade” (UDIP), focused on the improvement and optimisation of SCML's Proximity Social Intervention Services' user experience. The project emerges from the consolidation of the new recently governance model adopted by SCML - Integrated Governance - which seeks to address and respond to the most important social problems posed nowadays.
